(Proverbs 1:33 NKJV) But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.”
Sometimes we just don’t want to hear or learn one more thing pertaining to certain subjects, because once we’ve learned it we are now accountable for it and when we make our decisions, we now know the right thing to do.
Remember our parents telling us when we’ve done wrong, they’d add “and you KNEW better!” Why is that? Because they had spoken to us previously about it, explaining the consequences and didn’t want us to repeat it again. We needed to listen.
Listening to God brings safety to our life. If we are a parent listening to God as He teaches us how to parent, it brings safety to our children. If we are ministers listening to God, it brings safety to our congregation or those we minister to, and if we are a husband listening to God, it brings safety to our wife and family, etc.
When we follow God and do what He says, we need to be listening to all of it not just some. We can’t be just picking and choosing the things we like to hear or do, but truly listening and following Him in everything. Then we will dwell safely, and we will be secure and without fear of evil.
Shhh… listen today. What is God saying to you?
